We push on the world\, and the world pushes back . More than a century ago\, scientists discovered that some experiments pr oduced a startling result: the world is quantum.\nQuantum theory is famous ly strange\, yet we now understand it well enough to put it to work. Quant um technologies aim to harness and control the quantum world in ways that can make us wealthier\, healthier and safer. In this talk\, Professor Milb urn will describe the quantum technologies that are already beginning to c hange our lives\, including quantum computing. Looking ahead\, he will exp lore how the combination of quantum computing and embedded artificial inte lligence could create “self-driving laboratories” that accelerate scie ntific discovery and open the door to technologies beyond our current imag ination.\nPlease note – online attendance is now also available\, and re gistration for this is essential through the following link:  https://www .eventbrite.co.uk/e/online-public-talk-quantum-learning-quantum-quantum-co mputers-and-ai-tickets-1993782281475\nThe speaker\nProfessor Gerard Milbur n FRS is one of the world’s leading quantum physicists and a pioneer of quantum computing research. Over a career spanning more than four decades \, he has helped shape the development of technologies that harness the un usual properties of the quantum world to process information in entirely n ew ways. His work has contributed to many of the foundational ideas behind modern quantum computing and quantum technologies.\n\n\nA Fellow of the R oyal Society\, Professor Milburn has held senior leadership roles at major international research centres and is currently Quantum Fellow at the UK ’s National Quantum Computing Centre\, where he helps guide the UK’s q uantum computing programme and its future applications in science and soci ety.\n \n\n\n\nThe Main talk starts at 7pm. Refreshments will be served b efore the talk from 6:00pm. The audience is invited to participate and ask questions following the talk.\n\nThis event has been organised by the Hub bard Theory Consortium.

These questions matter. Yet they risk obs curing a deeper problem: defence capability is not only a matter of resour ces\, but also of knowledge. Drawing on Hayek’s theory of dispersed know ledge and competition as a discovery procedure\, this lecture argues that modern defence systems face a distinct epistemic challenge. In the absence of real operational selection pressure\, peacetime militaries rely on pro xies such as exercises\, readiness indicators\, certification procedures\, interoperability targets\, and procurement benchmarks. These instruments are necessary\, but they are imperfect substitutes for battlefield discove ry.The war in Ukraine illustrates this problem with unusual clarity. Ukrai ne’s defence effort has generated rapid learning through frontline feedb ack\, decentralized experimentation\, improvisation under scarcity\, and s hort loops between soldiers\, engineers\, firms\, and decision-makers. Suc h knowledge is not easily codified\, simulated\, or purchased. It is tacit \, local\, and revealed under pressure. By contrast\, many European armed forces have long operated in a peacetime environment in which formal prepa redness can be mistaken for combat-tested competence.The lecture finally c onsiders the uncomfortable case of mercenaries and private military actors . While normatively problematic\, they raise an analytically important que stion: do organizations exposed to repeated operational testing and compet itive pressure accumulate combat knowledge differently from bureaucratic p eacetime forces? The argument is not a defence of privatised violence\, bu t a Hayekian inquiry into how military organisations discover\, process\, and act upon knowledge. Europe’s defence problem is not merely a spendin g problem. It is\, more fundamentally\, a knowledge problem.About the spea kerWolfgang Benedikt Schmal is a competition economist with a PhD from the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics at Heinrich Heine Univers ity Düsseldorf.

But neoliberalism long ago shifted the terrain from calculation to creativity\, experimenta tion and worldmaking — and AI now radicalises that shift by enclosing th e infrastructures of knowledge\, culture\, judgment and imagination. This lecture\, by Evgeny Morozov\, argues that AI exposes a deeper blind spot i n socialist thought: the absence of a robust theory of technologically-med iated action.The Left has struggled to grasp how human capacities\, state power and technical infrastructures make one another inside the capitalist world-system — and how that same process might become a path from depen dency to emancipation. From Europe’s search for AI sovereignty to the Gl obal South’s long experience of technological dependence\, the question is no longer only who owns the machines\, but who controls the infrastruct ures through which societies learn\, create\, remember\, govern and make w orlds.Meet our speaker and chairEvgeny Morozov is a Belarusian and Italian writer\, researcher\, and intellectual who studies the political and soci al implications of technology. He was named one of the 28 most influential Europeans by Politico in 2018. He is the author of The Net Delusion: The Dark Side of Internet Freedom and To Save Everything\, Click Here: The Fol ly of Technological Solutionism (both listed among the 100 notable books o f the year by The New York Times).

In conversation with Stephan Chambers\, she will discuss the journey of Ed ucate Girls and its mission to find and empower every girl in India.There are millions of girls in India whose futures are shaped before they are ev en born. They are the ones most likely to be left behind by poverty\, patr iarchy\, early marriage\, and restrictive social norms. At Educate Girls\, this often unwanted girl is known as Antimbala—the “last girl.” Edu cate Girls’ mission is to get that girl back into school. What began in a handful of villages has grown into a community-led movement that has rea ched more than 31\,500 villages and helped over 2.2 million girls access e ducation. Join Safeena Husain—LSE alumna and recipient of an Honorary Do ctorate from the School — for a conversation on girls’ education\, com munity-led change\, and the challenge of designing solutions at scale. The discussion will explore what it takes to reach the ‘last girl’ and wh at becomes possible when communities come together to transform the future s of their daughterMeet our speaker and chairLSE alumna Safeena Husain is the Founder of Educate Girls\, an award-winning Indian non-profit that par tners with governments and communities to improve girls' education in Indi a’s marginalised regions.

Observations of Euclid\, Pythagoras\, Euler and Poincaré still occupy the minds of mathe maticians today. This conversation has experienced shocks and challenges\, including the crisis of foundations in the early 20th century\, and the f irst computer assisted proofs in the second half of the 20th century. We a re currently in the midst of another shock\, with the rise of formal proof and the first signs of AI systems helping to produce research-level mathe matics. This raises questions of fundamental importance: How should mathem aticians respond to AI? Will AI systems help (or hinder) our understanding of the mathematical world? Williamson will discuss some recent developmen ts at the interface of mathematics and AI\, with the aim of having a clear er picture of this unique point in the history of mathematics.\nSynopsis\n Geordie Williamson works in the structural side of mathematics\, and has d one early work at the interface of mathematics and AI. He has made several fundamental contributions including his proof (with Ben Elias) of the Kaz hdan-Lusztig positivity conjecture\, his algebraic proof of the Jantzen co njectures\, and his discovery of counter-examples to the expected bounds i n the Lusztig conjecture in modular representation theory. This last resul t came as a shock to a whole community of researchers\, and has since shif ted the focus away from old conjectures.\nFor his work he has been awarded the Chevalley Prize of the American Mathematical Society\, the European M athematics Society Prize\, the Clay Research Award\, the New Horizons Priz e in Mathematics (with Ben Elias)\, the Chauvenet Prize and two ICBS Front iers of Science Awards. He addressed the International Congress of Mathema ticians as a plenary speaker in 2018\, and as a public speaker in 2022 and 2026. More recently\, he was awarded an Australian Research Council Laure ate Fellowship and the Max Planck Humboldt Research Award.\nFrontiers in N atural Sciences: Dean’s Annual Lecture\nEstablished in 2022\, the Dean ’s Lecture explores the breadth and variety of activity at the frontiers of natural sciences.\nThis annual lecture series sees world-renowned spea kers\, who are chosen by each department in the Faculty\, discuss the futu re of science and the fundamental work that underpins our most ambitious e ndeavours.\nThis event will be livestreamed. More information on this will be shared closer to the event.
